BACK ON THE MARKET AT NO FAULT TO THE SELLER. Step into a piece of history that still knows how to live well. This striking historic home offers just over 3,200 finished square feet of character, craftsmanship and thoughtful updates- all wrapped in timeless curb appeal. From the moment you arrive, the classic facade and wrought-iron details set the tone for what's inside: a home with a story and room for the next chapter. Inside, you'll find 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 half baths, and 1 full bath, plus a large primary suite space that's already framed out and ready for you to design your dream master bath and closet exactly the way you want it. Whether you're envisioning a spa-like retreat or something sleek and modern, the hard part is already done- you get to make it yours. The heart of the home is the remodeled kitchen, blending modern function with historic charm, complete with a butler's pantry that makes entertaining effortless. Just beyond, the formal dining room is made for gathering, featuring a custom table that feels right at home hosting holidays, dinner parties or everyday meals. A bright sunroom overlooks the back patio, offering the perfect spot for morning coffee, quiet reading or winding down at the end of the day. And the second floor laundry adds everyday convenience- something you don't often find in homes of this era. Major updates have already been taken care of, including a new roof and gutters (still under warranty), new flashing on the dormers and new front windows, giving you peace of mind while preserving the home's historic integrity. This is more than just a house- it's a rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained historic home with space, updates and flexibility to make if truly your own. Homes like this don't come along often, and once you step inside, you'll understand why.
